PLOW ATTACHM ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,241, dated May 19,1885.

Application filed September 15, 1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUIs EVEN, of J effriesburg, in the county ofFranklin and State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Plows, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescIip-.

tion,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, and in which Figure l is a perspective View of aplow with my improvement applied. Fig. 2 is an enlarged top view of thepost-attaching device, showing part of the beam. Fig. 3 is a side viewof same. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of same. Figs. 5 and 6 are sectionstaken on lines 5 5 and 6 6, respectively, Fig. 3, and Fig. 7 is a detailsection taken on line 7 7, Fig. 4.

My invention consists in features of novelty, hereinafter fullydescribed, and pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the post, and B the beam of anordinary plow.

Formed upon or secured to the upper end of the post is a plate, 0, uponwhich the beam simply rests, and is held at one end by a U- .shapedclip, D, and at the other end by a threaded bolt, I, passing through atransverse slot, J, in the plate and through the beam. It has a head onits lower end, bearing on the plate on each side of the slot, and a nuton its upper end, as shown. At each end of the slot are lugs or ears Lon the plate, between which fits a screw-threaded bolt, N, that passesthrough the head of the bolt I. It has a head,

0, on one end, anda nut, P, on the other end, both of which are outsidethe lugs or ears. By

turning this bolt it will be seen that the outer end of the beam will bemoved laterally relative to the plow-body, and the plow thus made totake more or less furrow, as desired. The beam moves on the plate 0independent of the standard or post, the clip D being its fulcrum. Whenthe bolt is turned,it is held in place by the jam-nut P, which may belocked in position by a transverse pin, T, passing through the outer endof the bolt.

The clip may be held on the plate by a lip, U. (See Figs. 3, 4, and 5.)

Fitting over the upper ends of the clip and bolt I is a top plate, V,held in place by nuts W.

By the use of my attachment the beam is not weakened as it is in theordinary manner of attaching it to the post, as there is only one smallbolt-hole through it, and at the same time it is very substantiallysecured to the post.

I claim as my invention- In a plow, in combination with the post andbeam, the plate formed upon'or secured to the post, clip for holding thebeam on one end of the plate, bolt for holding the beam upon the otherend of the plate, its lower end fitting in aslot in the plate, and thethreaded bolt passing through the head of the first-mentioned bolt andfitting between lugs on the plate, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

LOUIS EVEN.

In presence of-- AUGUST EVERT, EMIL MANTELS.
